Go big this Memorial Day Weekend as OdySea Aquarium<\/a> welcomes Mighty Mike, America\u2019s biggest alligator. Weighing a whopping 800 pounds and spanning 14 feet, Mighty Mike is longer than most cars and can even take down a turkey in a single gulp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The impressive reptile will be here for a year, but guests can catch first sight of him during Memorial Day Weekend for the official launch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMighty Mike, an ambassador for his species, will provide families visiting OdySea Aquarium with a unique opportunity to better understand the American alligator. He\u2019s a marvel with his massive jaws, rows of teeth, and powerful tail. But his incredible size and stature is what makes him memorable to guests.\u00a0 You can\u2019t completely grasp how large Mighty Mike is until you see him in person!\u201d<\/p>Greg Charbeneau, Vice President and General Manager, OdySea Aquarium<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Mighty Mike is included with the price of admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
